Hi, the XZs my brother has bought recently seems to be experiencing overheating issues when using the camera app. When I record a 4k video, I'm sometimes only able to get 5 minutes worth of recording before camera shuts down (max I got was 15 minutes recording). After camera shut down, the UI lags for a few minutes. The temperature of the phone, measured with the app Super Cooler-CPU Cooler Cool, usually idles at 37 Celcius and the max I got after 4k recording is 47 Celcius. Is this very high?
This is a replacement XZs I got from the first one which also suffered overheating, but less so. Is this normal? Should I get a 3rd replacement?

hi, my z3 gets around 45-48 degree celcius while idling. and could get up to 58 degree celcius while playing game. is that normal? if its not, how can i fix it?
Seems pretty warm for idling. Do you live in a hot place/region? What apps have you downloaded? Maybe there are some errant apps. As for games yea Im not surprised if its getting that hot.
Sorry for the necroing the thread, but this is relevant. I live in Eastern Canada and right now it is the winter time. My house is room temperature and this my phone's "tsens_tz_sensor0" is fluctuating between 47 to 50 degrees Celsius.
Sensor 5 is fluctuating between 54 to 56 degrees Celsius. Sensor 6 is between 45 to 46. Sensor 8 is between 43 to 45. The other sensors show minimal to no change at all.
Is this normal?? My phone has an unlocked bootloader, I'm running updated, stock CA generic rom, and it is rooted. Before unlock of the bootloader, my phone was running fine temperature wise, but I did not check the temperature checking app.

I was Searching for Temperature issues with Z3 because i have temps of about 40-42 C when recording Videos..
Coming across with this it seems really bad.
and i am recording at 1080p 30fps and after about 15mins i get the Temperature too high warning, is that normal??
I Live in a Pretty Hot Place but i have My S3 Beat it like its no big deal.. it can go for about an hour at same settings
Yeah it's expected the S3 has an older 1.4 Ghz A9 CPU, the Z3's 801 runs at 2.5 Ghz which means higher voltage and in turn temps. Samsung also allow the chipset to run hotter.
Do you use the FB messenger?
I found it caused my phone battery drain and warm.
Uninstalled and fixed.

Hi, please tell us how do you realize that?
My another forum group found it and share to us.
As far as I know Z3 don't have any sensor for temperature measure :-?
How you guys can give such accurate readings?

My Z3 gets to 70 degrees C when playing an intensive game or using the 4k video option is this normal? Anyone have the same issue?
Even when just taking a few pics on a hot day the phone gets super hot and camera app shuts down due to overheating after 5 minutes of picture taking.
I use CurrentWidget apk that show battery temp. I don't know how accurate it is but in plaing 3d games, the highest temp was about 45 degree C. Ambiental temp about 20-22 degrees C (indoors).
Cheers!

Hi, that is battery temp. I am talking about actual CPU temp. Can you install A1 CPU tool from the playstore and see if you get the same as me.
Just shot 3 mins of 4k video and then went straight to the app and it told me 66 degrees C
pls see if what your temp is with the same
Now my phone is charging but later I will try what you said!
No flagship CPU can sustain maximum load for long before entering thermal throttling in a device with a phone form factor.
If you want sustained peak performance, you've got two options:
1) Buy a device with a more power efficient CPU (Snapdragon 4xx family) - peak performance will be far lower, but performance per watt will be vastly improved.
2) Buy a tablet - even the worst of these have better thermal management than any phones. Some devices are unambiguously superior - SHIELD Portable (not a tablet) actually had a fan on its heatsink and I believe THREE 18650 batteries, SHIELD Tablet has a phase-change thermal spreader I believe.

A1 CPU Tool
32 degree C in standby
52 degree C after 15 min of dungeon hunter 5 play
61 degree C after 3 min of 4k recording
I was shooting my friend's dance performance at a show a few days ago, I tried filming 2 video ahead, each with 1 minute long, then let the phone settle for 1 minute and start shooting my friend's dance, it only lasted 1 and half minutes then it showed temperature too high force close, after a minute I started shooting again around 1 minute and 20 seconds the camera force closed. The whole filming was on 1080P, storage is SD card, class 10, is this normal? I remember when I use my older phone, I can shoot 10 minutes no problem. What is your guys' average? Thanks.
Hey, how much your phone heat after it shutdown camera?
I had same problem but my phone heats up to 75C, so i found a way to disable thermal control. but high temperature may damage your phone / battery and do it with your own risk.
With this method i recorded 15 minutes 1080P @30fps video without any damage but temp rised to about 80C.
Here is my solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/help/microphone-camera-problems-d6633-t3271431

Thanks, I will look at the temperature next time.
Depending on the ambient temperature I can record [email protected] for:
5-7 minutes at 20-23 C
2-5 minutes at 25-28 C
That is starting from cold. I assume the overheat is expected, however I'd like to know how it compares to others. Would you please try it and post your results here? Thanks

Well I can record 4K/1080p60FPS without any issues between 20-25 C...cpu temp reads up to 52C...
But it's the start of summer here and we usually have 28-32 C! (more than 80% humidity).
Now I can record up to 5mins of 4K/1080p60FPS before getting the temperature warning message! (start from cold)
cpu temp shows 56-58 C these days which is normal...
At least on my device, the video recording is a strong function of ambient temperature. While I don't actually use it to record continuously for more than 5 minutes, which used to work fine in winter, now I had the unpleasant surprise to have it stop the camera in the middle of my shooting my child's performance, less than 5 minutes, air conditioned but still at around 25C I reckon. I will be wary then about filming in 60fps from now on.

Managed to record 18 minutes FullHD 60fps before camera shut down. Ambient temp 22C
Thanks. That's good, I guess. Compared to my numbers.
Update: tried it again, for science as at work I have a quite precise thermometer, 24.7 C. Got the warning at around 4 mins, stopped at 5min40sec.

Last weekend I upgraded from my old smartphone to the new Moto G4 Plus, and after reading much about the heating and camera issues, I thought of putting it under a test.
I used CPU-Z for testing temperature and some common sense. Last night I installed the three high end games on my phone ie. Asphalt 8, Mortal Combat X and Nova 3
1. Asphalt 8
Play Time: 1 Hour 10 Minutes
Gameplay: No Lags, No Frame Drops, Ran Smooth
Temperature (Front): Varied between 39 - 41 Degrees
Temperature (Back): Varied between 42 - 45 Degrees
Hotness/Warmness Index (Out of 10) - 3/10
2. NOVA 3
Play Time: 20 Minutes
Gameplay: No Lags, No Frame Drops, Ran Smooth
Temperature (Front): Varied between 39 - 41 Degrees
Temperature (Back): Varied between 42 - 44 Degrees
Hotness/Warmness Index (Out of 10) - 3/10
2. MORTAL COMBAT X
Play Time: 15 Minutes
Gameplay: No Lags, No Frame Drops, Ran Smooth, Took 2 Minutes for Initial Loading
Temperature (Front): Varied between 40 - 42 Degrees
Temperature (Back): Varied between 42 - 45 Degrees
Hotness/Warmness Index (Out of 10) - 4/10
With all these games I have noticed one thing, the temperature varied between a certain range ie. 42 - 45 degrees, after which it stayed constant, as if it reached a certain threshold, but it was not hot as the users on various forums are claiming, it was mildly warm near the power and volume buttons. The game-play was awesome without any glitches.
The main culprit is actually the Camera, or rather the Camera app. As soon as I fired the camera, the temperature started rising, and it went as high as 48 degrees while shooting a 1080p video for 2 mins, after which I have to close it down. And it really felt hot to hold. On my Hotness/Warmness Index, it would be 8/10. There was a steep rise in temperature and it didn't stopped, it continued to rise. The pro mode makes the matter worse.
On the other hand I installed third party camera apps ie. VSCO camera and Camera 360, they worked fantastic with zero heating and lagging issue.
The TurboCharger is also making the phone reach temperatures around 50 Degrees.
In case you wanna know, my phone has a manufacturing date of 05/2016 and the outside temperature according to the weather app was 27 Degrees. The phone gave a SOT of 4 Hours 40 Minutes of a single charge.
Exactly same in my case, plating same games and there are no lags no frame drops ,running smooth. I'm happy with this.
For Camera (Update the Camera , Camera tuner app If you din't already)..I'd like to give 1 solution which is not good but Moto told to do until it brings an update for Camera-heating issue---> Turn Off Stabilization, put mobile on AirPlane Mode, use 720p (I know this is not all good but it somehow useful) and Moto said they are working hard to get this issue solved..
For turbo charge ..we can't do anything because Qualcomm set the chip like to get turbo charge(it's normal in this case)

Motorola has released an OTA update fixing this issue. This gives a good forecast to when Motorola will update its devices, and the amount of updates each phone gets.
